React Drop Down Box - Single Selection

DropDownBox is an advanced editor whose drop-down window can include other components.

DevExtreme ships with multiple other drop-down editors. To find out which editor best suits your task, review the following article: How to Choose a Drop-Down Editor.

To get started with the DevExtreme DropDownBox component, refer to the following step-by-step tutorial: Getting Started with DropDownBox.

To give you the ability to edit code on the fly, the demo uses SystemJS. For this reason, launching the demo takes some time. We strongly recommend that you do not use this approach in real projects.
Backend API

The following instructions show how to synchronize the DropDownBox with any other embedded DevExtreme component:

  1. Specify data sources
    The DropDownBox's and embedded component's data sources can be the same or different. If they are different, the embedded component's key field should be present in the DropDownBox's data source.

  2. Specify which data field provides the DropDownBox's values and the embedded component's keys
    Assign the field's name to the DropDownBox's valueExpr property and to the key property of the embedded component's store.

  3. Synchronize the DropDownBox's value and the embedded component's selection
    Bind the DropDownBox's value and the embedded component's selectedRowKeys/selectedItemKeys property to the same variable.
